Hi, my name is Tim Sackett, and I love recruiting. Yes, it is considered an illness by many (hi, SHRM ladies!). Yes, I’m probably addicted. So, for this Valentine’s Day Eve, I wanted to give you guys all the reasons I love recruiting. The business my mother taught me when I was a child, sitting on her bed watching TV …
I’m in this really great position in my career where I get to speak to a lot of business leaders. There hasn’t been one leader in the past few years that hasn’t wanted to talk about one of two things (which usually go together): We need more hires We need to increase our diversity Getting more hires is actually really …
Plastics The infamous one word line from the movie “The Graduate” with Dustin Hoffman. This year is the 40th anniversary of one of the most iconic movies of the 1960s. I know many of you were not even born yet or have any idea about this time piece movie. Nor do most of you draw a connection between this movie …
In 2014, Gallup did a survey basically asking business leaders and Chief Academic Officers of higher education institution one question: “Do you believe academic programs are preparing graduates for jobs?” Here are the results: We could probably guess the outcome, right!?

Do you have to have a degree to get hired at your company? Maybe. Do you need a degree to be one of the best in any company? Hell no. That’s probably why Ernst and Young decided to drop the degree requirement recently. Then why do we require degrees? I think for the most part we’ve progressed past the point …

Cynics will say that they could also generate brilliance with GE’s gagillion dollar recruiting budget. Maybe, maybe not. But what about the reader of FOT …
I am just home from Las Vegas. My meetings coincided with the SHRM Annual Conference, and I was able to meet human resources leaders from around the world who talked about attending sessions about executive compensation, defined benefit pension plans, and social media. You know who I didn’t meet? Talent acquisition professionals under the age of thirty. There’s a quirky …
FOT Note: We here at FOT like to think we get talent and HR at a different level. At the very least, we are probably going to have a different take than the norm. That’s why we recently onboarded HireVue as an annual sponsor at FOT, where they’ll sponsor posts like this one, allowing FOT contributors to write without restriction …
I’m a proud alumna of The Florida State University and have taken a lot of heat lately about it. I have taken heat in the grocery store, at the gym, on social media and even in the office. It seems that everyone has an opinion about the infamous Jameis Winston and the Florida State “Criminoles,” and they’re falling over themselves …
It’s summertime! That means it’s time for college students around the country to decide if they are going to take that class trip to Mazatlán or head out into the real world to find themselves a summer internship. Our intern program is currently underway. My company has a tremendous intern program that teaches while giving highly valuable practical experience. We also …
